Composites ideas in COMPOOL immersion: A semantics engineering innovation network community platform

Abstract

Nowadays, organisations and companies collaborate towards interoperable solutions difficult to derive in one closed research and development department. Currently, such concepts started to be implemented within User Innovation Networks, opening a new collective, productive space for the individual and the inter-community collaboration. Also the emergence of Internet platforms that enable and support collaborative innovation research anchored in WEB 03 semantic technologies generate new challenges and opportunities in a period of crisis. Based upon these ideas, COMPOOL Web 3.0 Collaboration Platform is an innovative collaboration research proposal, focusing on developing partnerships between governmental organisations, academia and industry to produce new composite materials based on disruptive and incremental open innovation. COMPOOL 's main aim and functionality is to synthesize and manage ideas from different disciplines so to reduce time execution as well as high costs and risks associated with technologies in composites research and development. The proposed COMPOOL platform uses Semantic Analysis, Human Computer Interaction Immersive Experience and User Innovation Networks aiming at real micro- and macro-scale industrial implementations for out of the box problem solving within diverse industries, as for example, aerospace, automotive, construction, wind energy and sports. © 2013 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
